SATURDAY
THE OPIUM LAW.

One naturally wonders what has been
done by the Marshal, after the decision
of the Supreme Court, on the Opium
Act The law has been laid down very
clearly in that decision that the sale of
opium to anyone in the habit of using
the drug is illegal. Bnt the opium
traffic has gone on without abatement
since this decision was rendered. The
question hence arises: Who is respon-
sible for carrying out the law? Is it the
Marshal of the Kingdom, or who else
Let US say at once that this neglect OF
duty is a matter which has not escaped
observation. 1t is known to natives and
foreigners alike, and we tell Marshal
Kaulukou at once that he cannot afford
to tamper with the decision of the SUI
preme Court as he has been doing. Ii
he does not know it we shall tell him
that the law is the sovereign authority
of this Kingdom; and the law, as inter-
preted by the Supreme Court, declares
that opium cannot be sold in this coun-
try to anyone in the habit of using it..
Furthermore, any medical man who
prescribes opium to any person addicted
to the use of it is liable to fine and dis
abilities.
The Marshal is lawyer himself, and
should know all this, but lest his mind
should be BIASED on the subject, we
suggest that he should consult the At
torney-General as to his duty in the
premises. If the Marshal does not act
in conformity with the ruling of the
Supreme Court, he may protect himself
by producing the written instructions of
the Attorney-General; but if not, the
Marshal must stand the responsibility of
such actions on his own account. And
we take leave to tell him that it will be
no child's play when the accounting
comes should he continue to violate the
law in this particular.
Every license the Marshal has issued
for the consumption of opium is unlaw-
full Every dollar he has collected under
this head, whether a moiety has been
turned into the Treasury or not, has
OCCII uAl1dNlUIlJ CO11CCtCOs II
lows, therefore, that Mr.. Kaulukou
has something to answer for in the near
future which will tax even his ingenuity
to the utmost. OF one thing he may
rest assured, and that is that no power
in this Kingdom is above the law; also
that high officer of the law, above all
hers, is bound by its DEGREES. In
brief, the sooner all and sundry under
stand that this a country under the
authority of law and not of caprice, the
better it will be for themselves and the
people at large.

FRIDAY, May 9th.
YIN Quon VS.. A. J. Cartwright, in
equity. Plaintiff is the lessee of a GER
tain piece of land situate in the burnt
district, Maunakea street, and defendant
is the guardian of the minor children of
A. J. Holt, owners of said land. DE
PENDANT had sued plaintiff in the Police
Court for arrears of rent, which he al
leges he is willing to pay after being
allowed reduction for a certain portion
of the land taken by Government for the
purpose of street widening. The bill
prays that defendant be enjoined not
to proceed with the .,ase in the Police
Court until further order of Court, and
that the rent of the land be apportioned.
At the close of plaintiffs case counsel for
defendant moved for dismissal of the
bill on the ground that nothing had been
shown to the Court that plaintiff was
legally evicted from the portion of land
claimed to have been taken by the Gov
eminent, defendant relying on His
Honor's decision rendered in Bradley's
appeal in re-widening of Fort street
wherein it was pointed out that certain
formalities of law not having been COM
piled with, that therefore the action of
the Commissioners to award damages
for lands taken was void. Plaintiffs
counsel commended that sufficient had
been shown to the Court that his client
was not in the enjoyment of all of his
land, and whatever Irregularities there
may have been in the mode of Govern
ment's acquiring land for road purposes,
that plaintiff should not be made to suf-
fer for them. His Honor remarked that
the principles involved in the case were
important, and as they would effect the
interests of other lessees and owners, he
would consider the case and file his de-
cision in writing. G. w. Ashford for
plaintiff, w A. Kinney for defendant.

Oliver Wendell Holmes Sings Her Praises
in No Uncertain Strain.
The afternoon tea is almost a neces-
sity in London life. It is considered
useful as ga pick me up, and it serves
IN admirable purpose in the social sys-
tenn. 1t costs the household hardly
any trouble or expense. 1t brings
people together in the easiest possible
way, for ten minutes or an hour, just
as their engagements or fancies may
settle it. A cup of tea at the right
moment does for the virtaous reveler
all that Falstaff claims for good
sherris-sack, or at least the first half of
It's ''twofold operation" at ascends
me into the brain; dries me there all
the foolish and dull and crudy vapors
which environ it; makes it apprehen-
sive, quick, forgetive, full of nimble,
fiery and delectable shapes, which de-
livered over to the voice, the tongue,
which is the birth, becomes excellent
wit"
But it must have the right brain
to work upon, and doubt if there is
any brain to which it is so congenial
and from which it brings so much
as that of frst-rate London old
lady. l came away from the great
city with the feeling that this
most complex product of civilization
was no where else developed to such
perfection. The octogenarian London
ess has been in society-let us say the
highest society-all her days. She is as
tough as an old macaw, or she would
not have lasted so long. She has seen
and talked with all the celebrities of
three generations, all the beauties of
at least half dozen decades. Her wits
have been kept bright by constant use,
and as she is free of speech, it requires
some courage to face her. Yet no body
can be more agreeable, even to young
persons, than one of these precious old
dowagers. A great beauty is almost
certainly thinking how she looks while
one is talking with her; an authoress is
waiting to have one praise her book;
but a grand old lady, who loves Lon
don society, who lives in it, who I'M
derstands young people and all sorts of
people, with her high-colored recollec-
tons of the past and her grandmother
nal interests in the new generation, is
the best of companions, especially over
"a cup of tea just strong enough to stir
up her talking ganglions. s. ti0er Ven

A visit to many of the farms on
which pigs are raised would convince
any one that more care is needed in
supplying them with good, pure water.
The pig is susceptible to disease as well
as other animals and suffers from the
effect of unfavorable surroundings.
Pigs can not be expected to keep in
good health when compelled to drink
filthy water, alive with the germs of
disease, live on scanty rations of poor
: food, and sleep in a damp place as so
many do. One would suppose that an
animal so easily cared for and so profit
able, one year with another, on the
farm, would have better treatment than
is given by great majority of those
who raise swine.-Ndtlo79aL Lice Stock

Ed P. c. ADyERTIsER-Sir Will you
please give space in your paper for the
following correct statement of facts con-

After closing the Y. NJ. G. a. rooms
at about 10 O'Clock ON Thursday evening
1 proceeded. homeward along Hotel
street and Palace Walk to Likelike
street.
Turning down the latter soon passed
a policeman. just as was passing the
gate of the Palace yard my attention was
attracted by what seemed an unusual
commotion within; at the same time a
shout was heard unlike that periodically
made by the guard.
Without thought of harm or danger,
placed one foot on projection near the
base of the ornamental part in the line
of the wall, and with my hand on the
coping, easily looked into the yard,
saw everything was quiet as usual,
stepped down and walked along about
my business. As l turned the corner on
to King street, heard some one speak,
and looking around saw a policeman
coming toward me. l turned back to
ask him what was wanted 1 think he
was new man. 1 did not know him,
neither did he know me.
Unfortunately we did not speak
enough Of the same language to make
ourselves well understood. We stepped
over to the corner of Punchbowl street
to find the policeman usually on duty.

Summer Goods.

Of all the summer goods ever dis
played in Honolulu, Mr.. N. S. Sachs, of
the Popular Millinery House, Fort street,
has the most complete stock at the
present time. Embroidered suits were
never sold so reasonable, while lace for
draperies, batiste, Persian lawn and
null, so dainty and pretty for this trop-
zeal climate are most prominent amongst
the latest importations. The millinery
department in this establishment is
rapidly increasing, and bargains can
always be secured in that line. A main
feature IN this establishment is, that
ladies are invited TO inspect the novel
ties without feeling obliged to buy.
